Recycle bin

XP/98SE via 3rd party boot manager. After logged in XP, then later, bootingto 98SE; find that the recycle bin is invalid per Windows Explorer, or 3rdparty tools. Have 7 other partitions visible to both XP and 98SE. Thoughnot a real problem, it is a nuisance, and a bit time consuming as it promptsto delete contents on each and every recycle bin of each partition. (Thereverse is not true in XP, no recycle bin problems noted, not yet anyway).Any clues?

Sometimes, not always, XP forwards the clock one hour without a prompt, butI'll go to an XP newsgroup for that.

No clues. I have problems with a shared 98/XP bin also, (when in 9x), andso only access the bin from XP.

My gut says its the desktop.ini associated with the recycle bin in 98SE.Maybe kill the recycle bin entirely in 98SE, and let XP handle it?

Do you mean XP changes desktop.ini to a for W98 unusable way? In that case you could solve your problem by backing up the W98 way, and copy them back in autoexec.bat
